The stone was carved in early October of the third year of the Zhongping era (186 AD) during the Eastern Han Dynasty, in Dongping, Shandong. It was unearthed in the early Ming Dynasty and moved to the Dongping Prefecture School, now located in Tai'an Tai Temple, Shandong. The stele is written in clerical script with a seal script header and an inscription on the back. This is a mounted and bound copy, consisting of thirty sections, measuring 27 cm in height and 15 cm in width. It bears inscriptions by Sun Yuanfu and Liang Qichao on the cover.
The copy is stamped with seals such as "Yinbing Study," "Wang Shiren," "Once Belonged to Shi Han," "Ma Han," "□ Study of Stone Inscriptions," "He Shan Feng Family's Collection of Stone Inscriptions and Paintings," "Tang," "Shi Han's Collected Stone Inscriptions," "Once Owned by Shi Han," "Yin Hua's Private Seal," "Qin Study's Collection After the Year Renzi," "Qin Study," "Feng Shi Han's Father's Secret Collection," and "Shi Han Read." It was passed down through Zheng Mian, Cang Zhaobin, Feng Han, and Liang Qichao.
Four inscriptions by Sun, Peng Yuanwei, and Liang are appended. This copy is a Ming-Qing Dynasty print from the late Ming to early Qing period, featuring intact characters such as "Dongli Renshou," the character "Se," "Chuiqi Renjun," and the character "Jun," with the character "Hui" retaining two strokes on the side of "Wei."
